A pneumatic flow control system for an aircraft includes a control system operating and implementing a software program through a digital environment, the software program having one or more rules; a sensor in digital communication with the control system, the sensor to relay engine power data to the control system; an electronically controlled valve in digital communication with the control system, the electronically controlled valve to control an amount of bleed air flowing therethrough; a first rule defining an engine power parameter and a valve position for the electronically controlled valve and using the engine power data relayed from the sensor, receiving data equating to the engine power parameter activates transmitting a command to the electronically controlled valve to adjust to the valve position; and the valve position is set to restrict flow through the valve to below a threshold limit.
